CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 255

Which of the following policies prohibits a network administrator from using spare servers in the datacenter to mine bitcoins?

Answer options

• A. NDA
• B. BYOD
• C. AUP
• D. MOU

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which outlines what is permissible regarding the use of organizational resources. An AUP would typically restrict activities such as cryptocurrency mining that could negatively impact the network or server performance. The other options, NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), and MOU (Memorandum of Understanding), do not specifically address the use of servers for unauthorized activities like Bitcoin mining.
